From Lathi to Luxury....





Mahatma Gandhi has seen a connection with the extreme luxury on his birth anniversary this year, as Mont Blanc, a leading luxury brand has launched the " Mahatma Gandhi Limited Edition writing Instruments " worldwide.

The two Montblanc pens -
  1. Mahatma Gandhi Limited Edition 241
  2. Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Edition 3000

The 18K gold, rhodium-plated nib displays an intricate, hand-engraved depiction of 60-year-old Gandhiji energetically setting off on the Dandi March of July 1930. The cream lacquer symbolizes khadi, the woven cotton is a symbol of Indian liberation.

They have been created to pay tribute to the wisdom, vision and boundless energy the indomitable Mahatma Gandhi displayed as he bravely struggled to free his beloved nation.

  1. Isn't it ironical?

    Mahatma Gandhi lived a simple life and these pens, dedicated to him, are meant to be a symbol of luxury !!!
